Fire and Ice vs Whispering Spring
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Fire and Ice belongs to the purple family and Whispering Spring to the blue family. Whispering Spring (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Fire and Ice (LRV 15), a difference of 63 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Fire and Ice runs purple while Whispering Spring is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 56.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
